Full-Body Training That Builds Strength and Endurance
Martial arts is more than just self-defense—it’s an intense, full-body workout that improves strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health. Every session challenges different muscle groups, enhances coordination, and boosts endurance, making it a dynamic alternative to traditional gym routines.

Build Focus, Confidence, and Mental Toughness
Martial arts is as much about mindset as it is about movement. At Burke’s Martial Arts, students develop the discipline, patience, and resilience needed to push through challenges—both in training and in everyday life. Each session reinforces focus and self-control, helping you stay composed under pressure.
The mental benefits go beyond the gym. Whether it’s handling stress, setting goals, or overcoming obstacles, the lessons learned on the mat translate into greater confidence and determination in all aspects of life.
A Powerful Outlet for Mental and Physical Tension
Martial arts training is an effective way to release stress while staying active. The combination of movement, focus, and controlled breathing helps clear your mind, allowing you to channel energy in a positive way. With every strike, combination, and drill, tension fades, leaving you feeling more balanced and refreshed.
Many students from East Providence notice an immediate boost in mood and mental clarity after training. Whether it’s the intensity of a workout or the structure of disciplined practice, martial arts provides a productive way to manage stress and maintain a strong, focused mindset.
Building Confidence Through Progress and Skill
With every class, you’ll develop skills that go beyond technique—you’ll build confidence that carries into all areas of life. As you refine movements, improve strength, and overcome challenges, you’ll gain a sense of accomplishment that fuels self-belief. The discipline and perseverance you develop in training translate into a stronger, more confident mindset.
Success in martial arts isn’t just about physical ability—it’s about pushing past limits and proving to yourself what you’re capable of. Whether you’re mastering a new technique or reaching a personal fitness goal, each step forward strengthens self-esteem and reinforces a positive, resilient attitude.
Testimonials from East Providence Residents
Our students consistently praise the quality of instruction and supportive environment at Burke’s Martial Arts:
Excellent place with awesome instructors!
Phenomenal environment. Great instructors.
The best place to learn self-defense!! The teachers are very good and patient, they focus on everyone learning.
Burke’s has been an amazing experience. The training alone has been extremely diverse in the techniques I have learned. I have also made new friends during training. The instructors break everything down step by step and take their time in explaining new techniques. Unfortunately, i had some health responsibilities to take care of first but I can’t wait to come back. Burke’s became a second home.Thank you!
I have been coming to Burke's for about a year. I joined their Muay Thai class looking to better my physical and mental health, but I have gained so much more than that. What I've loved most is the community that you find when joining this gym. Everyone there is looking to see you succeed. The instructors push you but still remind you to enjoy yourself, your peers are helpful and encouraging, and you learn something new every time you come back. I've done things that I didn't know my body was capable of while at this gym, and I look forward to the getting to know the many more amazing people I will meet during my time at this gym
Burkes is awesome, the coaches are great and are amazing with developing individuals for Muay Thai. Love it here.
Burkes was apart of my weight loss from 355 LBs to 245 LBs. amazing staff? Willing to be patient as long as your putting maximum effort in. They keep you accountable and train you correctly, from fundamentals to advanced, once you pass testing.
I would definitely suggest you go here to learn a new martial art, make friends, and accomplish goals!
The staff is also highly informative on nutrition, a key part of any athlete’s regimen.
After going to Atomic Kickboxing for several months and wanting to learn more of the MMA side of kickboxing/Muay Thai, I decided to give Burke's a try.
As a female, at first I was super intimidated walking into a class full of guys grunting and shouting, but was relived to see more and more girls after each class. Coming to Muay Thai became something I looked forward to each week and felt accomplished when I improved on form or technique. Each class is different so it always feels fresh while building upon things already learned.
Jaimeson and Num are awesome and take the time to break things down and give you 1-on-1 instruction within the group class setting. More importantly, they make it fun while still challenging and teaching. The progression and testing system helps you be motivated to hit progress goals, but chill enough for those looking to do it with no pressure as a hobby/exercise.
Jaimeson is also really great at checking in with you when you fall off your practice - which is nice to have to stay accountable. I will miss Burke's and wish I had been able to train here for longer before moving!
